Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area, Ontario

The mighty lake is famous for its early summer fogs, when warm moist air moves from the surrounding land out over the icy waters and condenses into thick, damp clouds. Along the coast, the fog often burns off by noon. But in the offshore archipelago that stretches 120 kilometers from the Sibley Peninsula east to the Rossport Islands, paddlers can find themselves navigating blindly for days through the island maze…or hunkered down on shore waiting for the white blanket to lift. When it does, you may spot some of the fog’s victims: the water is so clear, shipwrecks are visible at depths up to 20 meters. www.pc.gc.ca/eng/amnc-nmca/on/super/index.aspx
